Dancing has a new twist. It’s dancing with your dog! This new sport, which is called canine freestyle, features handlers and their dogs performing routines to music.This dancing craze got its start in Canada about 20 years ago. The idea quickly spread to England and then to the United States. Now canine freestyle is popularwith dog lovers worldwide. The World Canine Freestyle Organization (WCFO) is one of several clubs that promotes this sport. It hosts international events where members meet and compete, and it also offers video competitions.

MovesEveryone knows it takes two to tango. That typically holds true in canine freestyle. Both partners have to keep in step, and the human takes the lead as the team prepares to compete. Owners teach their dogs a number of various moves. Heeling spinning, weaving and jumping are some basic skills of the sport! Once mastered, moves are combined to create a one-of-a-kind (unique)routine. Putting together a qualifying performance takes patience, practice and a real pet-person partnership.
